A majority of mobile phone users receive unwanted or pesky calls and text messages even after having registered their numbers in the Trai's 'national do not call' registry, a survey report said on Tuesday. According to online platform Localcircles, 95 per cent people who participated in the survey said they get pesky…

It’s really great to not hear from those surveyors during the busiest hours of the day.

I must say, not getting the calls anymore has improved my opinion about your company.

Now that the calls have stopped I am feeling blessed.

I did not get one single call last week after I called the grievance cell number, provided by Simply Outbound. Thank you.

Thank you. The calls have stopped ever since I called your grievance cell.

I am happy that at least one lifestyle survey and lead generation company has the guts to come forward to come forward and take the onus of their calls. They also offered to make things right for those who suffered due to their continuous calling. I called their grievance cell number and they stopped calling me on my request. Thank you Simply Outbound.

Getting numerous calls from a company is nothing new to me. I get 5-6 marketing and survey calls on a daily basis and chooses to ignore most of them. But after receiving a few calls from this number I gave in. I participated in the lifestyle survey. When the calls continued even after this I decided to take a more serious action. I found the grievance cell number of Simply Outbound, the company conducting the survey, and asked them to stop calling me. They assured me that I will receive no further calls from their end. After that I did not get any calls from this number.

At first I got quite scared when I started getting these calls. I have read a lot about telephone scams where they want to extract your financial data (Net banking PIN, Credit card details etc.) in the name of survey. For this reason I started declining calls from this number.
Searching for the owner of this number on the web, I found out that this number belongs to a legitimate lead generation and lifestyle survey company named Simply Outbound. They even gave their grievance cell number so that anyone who does not wish to be contacted by them can lodge a complaint there.
After gathering this information, the company seemed trustworthy to me. And so, I took the survey the next time they gave me a call. It was a collection of household questions such as the maker of my washing machine, whether or not I own a dog etc. The questions were basically harmless. And the next time I

Irritated – that’s what I was when I started getting calls from this number. But soon enough they made me angry. No matter how many times you get a call from them, they seem to keep calling back. It was getting on my nerves. I was determined to put an end to it for good. It was then I found a grievance cell number on the web where I can lodge a complaint against this non-stop calling. I called them up and asked them to stop calling me. They apologized for my inconvenience and assured us that I will not receive a call from that number again. Two weeks have passed since then and now I can conveniently say that they kept their promise – no unwanted calls!

I live a quiet life… the unwanted phone calls irk me beyond words. So, needless to say I was pretty much annoyed when I started receiving about 4 calls per day from this number. Later I found out that the number belongs to Simply Outbound – a lifestyle survey company. A little research on the Internet revealed that they have a grievance cell number where you can lodge a complaint against these frequent calls and can even request to stop calling you. I took the opportunity and requested them to stop calling me. I have not received a single call since then. I am glad that I did not have to put up a fight with the callers or say something rude to make the calls stop. It ended in an amicable manner.

I was getting at least four calls a day from this number asking for my permission to do a lifestyle survey. at first I did not pay attention but then when the calling persisted, I opted for the survey. But the story did not end there. I continued to get calls from them. It was then I did an online research and found out their grievance cell number . I dialed them up and requested not to call me. They assured me that I will receive calls from their end. After that I did not hear from them. Good going!
